Niaz Muhammed, a former Pakistan Air Force junior technician, 40, was convicted for his involvement in the attempted suicide attack on Musharraf on December 25, 2003 in Rawalpindi and was handed the death sentence by a military court in 2006.
Following his execution, the body was handed over to his family, doctors had said.
Strict security was enforced during the execution and unauthorised persons were not allowed in the vicinity of the prison.
In the wake of the recent attack on Peshawar's school children by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had lifted the six-year moratorium on death penalties.
Following the resumption of executions, two high-profile terrorists were executed on December 20, followed by a further four on December 22 - all involved in attempted attacks on Musharraf.
Officials have said they plan to hang 500 convicts in the coming weeks, drawing protest from international human rights campaigners.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has also announced the establishment of military courts for terror-related cases in order to accelerate trials, describing them as "an extraordinary solution to an extraordinary problem."
Despite the moratorium, which began in 2008, courts continued to issue death sentences and Amnesty International estimates there are around 8,000 people on death row in Pakistan.
The United Nations, European Union, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have called on Pakistan to re-impose its moratorium on the death penalty.
Rights campaigners say Pakistan overuses its anti-terror laws and courts to prosecute ordinary crimes.

When are we going to punish the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, SSP, Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat Terrorist, responsible for the Quetta Massacres and the Abbas Town Massacres.
What about the killer of Governor Salman Taseer., Is it possible the PML N and PM has a soft corner for them.
Well done. We want to see more hangings in coming days.
So far the only people who have been put to death are those who have "miffed off" Mushy.. is the Army trying to give the Govt. a hint???
All terrorists who have murdered innocent people should be hanged one by one. This cleansing process was long due.
How many terrorists on death row in civilian courts have been hanged till today, after lifting of moratorium ? NONE, because the civilian govt :
1) afraid of the backlash
2) trying to be " good cop " & sending a message to the TTP groups that " see, we are good guys, till now e have not hanged even 1 of the convicts from your groups ".
So, guys, you get the message ? let the Army suffer. Well! they are not fools. They have seen, agreeing to military courts in their presence, then backing out once outside. This is will not work any more & time is not far when the Army will be forced to step in, then no one should complain. If this is the Army`s war, then let them fight alone, after imposition of " emergency ", then, of course, military courts - justified ? Either you civilians come to senses & make your ATCs effective for which it was formed or stay aside & let the Army do your dirty work....decide NOW or NEVER.
@truthbetold: wow, you live in some deep matrix !
@Wali: "Musharraf survives but his killers/planners caughte and punished. Over 50,000 other innocent Pakistani dead but no one accountable for those deaths"
That is because one Mush is worth 100,000 civilians, if not more!
Very likely another fall guy was hanged. The whole Musharraf "assassination attempt" drama reeks of a drama stage-managed by the yours truly agencies of the Deep State. Very likely it was "arranged" by the agencies to make it appear to the western world that Mush was paying the price for helping all-out in the war against terror.
At the time of this so-called assassination attempt, the West was on to Mush's double-games of running with the hares and hunting with the hounds and was threatening to cut-off the free-flowing dollars.
In 1971 Army generals forced Bengali to create Bangladesh and now our Crown Prince is forcing Blochi people to work for their indecent states.
Musharraf survives but his killers/planners caughte and punished. Over 50,000 other innocent Pakistani dead but no one accountable for those deaths.
